A Report to the Members

At The recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the MENC, which was held in Washington, D.C., in May, the annual report on the Status of the MENC was presented and accepted. The report was then mailed to the Board of Directors. Copies of the report have been made available for presentation and discussion at the Leadership and Planning Conferences of the MENC Divisions being held prior to the 1955 spring meetings of the Divisions.

In the opinion of the president of the Conference and the chairman of the Editorial Board of the Music Educators Journal, this report should properly reach all members of the Conference, and it is therefore timely to print it in the Season Preview Issue of the Journal. The report is intended to present an overview of the organization from several standpoints and is organized in four major categories: (1) The Status of MENC Services; (2) the Status of MENC Membership; (3) The Status of MENC Auxiliaries, State Units, Associated Organizations, and other Official Groups; (4) The Status of MENC Publications.
